+// Retired registrations:
+//
+// Retired flag registrations are treated specially. A 'retired' flag is
+// provided only for compatibility with automated invocations that still
+// name it. A 'retired' flag:
+// - is not bound to a C++ FLAGS_ reference.
+// - has a type and a value, but that value is intentionally inaccessible.
+// - does not appear in --help messages.
+// - is fully supported by _all_ flag parsing routines.
+// - consumes args normally, and complains about type mismatches in its
+// argument.
+// - emits a complaint but does not die (e.g. LOG(ERROR)) if it is
+// accessed by name through the flags API for parsing or otherwise.
+//
+// The registrations for a flag happen in an unspecified order as the
+// initializers for the namespace-scope objects of a program are run.
+// Any number of weak registrations for a flag can weakly define the flag.
+// One non-weak registration will upgrade the flag from weak to non-weak.
+// Further weak registrations of a non-weak flag are ignored.
+//
+// This mechanism is designed to support moving dead flags into a
+// 'graveyard' library. An example migration:
+//
+// 0: Remove references to this FLAGS_flagname in the C++ codebase.
+// 1: Register as 'retired' in old_lib.
+// 2: Make old_lib depend on graveyard.
+// 3: Add a redundant 'retired' registration to graveyard.
+// 4: Remove the old_lib 'retired' registration.
+// 5: Eventually delete the graveyard registration entirely.
+//
+// Returns bool to enable use in namespace-scope initializers.
+// For example:
+//
+// static const bool dummy = base::RetiredFlag<int32_t>("myflag");
+//
+// Or to declare several at once:
+//
+// static bool dummies[] = {
+// base::RetiredFlag<std::string>("some_string_flag"),
+// base::RetiredFlag<double>("some_double_flag"),
+// base::RetiredFlag<int32_t>("some_int32_flag")
